Congratulations on 48 years of marriage!  What a beautiful testimony of what God has designed marriage to encompass.  You are truly each others help mate and have supported each other through life's highs and lows.  You have done it with grace and dignity and it has been a blessing to sit on the sidelines and watch.   (Not to mention with an amazing sense of humor!)  

You are leaving a legacy of love to your children and grandchildren.  Little ones are watching and taking it all in.    Thank you for being our constant and for demonstrating patience and kindness toward one another.
